Storm Control
Storm Control limits the amount of Broadcast, Unknown Multicast, and Unknown Unicast frames
accepted and forwarded by the Switch. Storm Control can be enabled per port by defining the
packet type and the rate that the packets are transmitted at. The Switch measures the incoming
Broadcast, Unknown Multicast, and Unknown Unicast frames rates separately on each port, and
discards the frames when the rate exceeds a user-defined rate.
Port
Displays the ports for which the Storm Control information is
displayed.
Status
Select whether Storm Control is Enabled or Disabled ingress on the
interface.
Broadcast
Enter the broadcast rate in kilobits per second. The Gigabit Ethernet
ports have a maximum speed of 1000000 kilobits per second. If the
rate of broadcast traffic ingress on the interface increases beyond
the configured threshold, the traffic is dropped.
